The Grand Order of the Lost Mathom celebrates its fifth anniversary Saturday October 13th, with a
grand party at Songburrow Hall! As part of the anniversary, we will host a number of competitions, suitable for cooks and entertainers!
For signing up, see the contact information below.
There are three competitions, and the rules are as follows.
1 The Grand Anniversary Menu Competition
Every hobbit party needs a splendid festive meal, and we plan on serving
a lovely three-course dinner to our guests. However, we would love your
help in composing it! So please send us your suggestions!
Rules:
- Write down a 3-course meal suitable for our party. The menu needs to
follow this format: Starter, main course and pudding. Also suggest
drinks to go with each course.
- Please try to keep the menu somewhat hobbity, and avoid modern-day
food or ingredients that hobbits would likely not have access to.
- Please try to keep your meal descriptions short, but tempting.
- Send your meal suggestion to us no later than Thursday October 11th, 11:59PM BST/UK time (6:59PM servertime). See contact information below.
A jury will chose their favourite meal, which will be presented and
served at the party. The winning cook also receives a grand prize!
2 The Grand Cake-baking Competition
Every anniversary party needs a festive anniversary cake! And this year,
we ask Shire cooks to bake one for us and bring it to the party to be
judged!
